1 Zoom March 2011 DR. ERIC J. SMITH, COMMISSIONER DR. WILLIS N. HOLCOMBE, CHANCELLOR EDITION The Florida College System: Student Enrollment Trends Introduction For years The Florida College System (FCS) has been a gateway to higher education for the state s citizens through its open door admission policies and low tuition rates. Florida s strong articulation policies also provide a bridge for FCS students who transfer to upper division programs in the State University System (SUS), Independent Colleges and Universities in Florida (ICUF) or the FCS with relative ease. Nineteen of the state s 28 colleges in the FCS now offer baccalaureate degrees, although 98% of awards are still made to students earning associate degrees or certificates, demonstrating that these programs remain the core of the FCS mission. The emerging baccalaureate programs attract a broad range of individuals, some of whom enter the workforce directly following graduation representing a different demographic of students from those who are in the SUS. FCS baccalaureate programs meet regional workforce needs and provide an option to many students who are typically place bound or under economic pressures that require employment (e.g., familial or financial obligations). Additionally, the ailing state economy has meant that students and their families must expand their higher education options to maximize their employment opportunities. Taken as a whole, these factors are shifting student demographics in the FCS. This research report explores the demographic trends for students in the FCS. The report begins with an examination of lower division enrollment trends and then provides separate analyses for First Time in College (FTIC) and upper division enrollments. Both lower division and FTIC enrollment analyses span 11 years ( to ); upper division demographic analyses span 8 years since the FCS first saw enrollments in after legislation was passed in 2001 authorizing colleges to offer baccalaureate degrees. Raw numbers for lower and upper division, FTIC and system demographics and enrollment trends are included in the appendices of this report. Page 1

2 Lower Division Demographic Trends Exhibit 1: Lower Division Enrollments by Race and Ethnicity Exhibit 1 shows lower division enrollment trends in the FCS by race and ethnicity. Hispanic, black, and other students (which include Asian/Pacific Islanders and Native Americans) have increased in proportion since Both Hispanic and black students were both at approximately 16% in (110,962 and 110,115 respectively). Each year since, the proportions for each group have increased, rising to 21.5% (189,770) for Hispanics and 18.2% (160,289) for black students. This represents 5.7 and 2.5 percentage point changes, respectively. Students in the other group grew from 5.0% in to 12.3% in , representing an increase of 7.3 percentage points and a 211.9% increase (in actual numbers) during this period. White students are still the largest single group but have decreased both as a percent and in total numbers from 444,668 (63.5%) in to 423,183 (48.0%) in Page 2

3 Exhibit 2: Lower Division Enrollments by Gender Exhibit 2 shows lower division enrollments by gender. Female students are the largest group and the proportions have remained largely stable from 56.5% (395,421) in to 55.8% (491,608) in The proportion of male students has also been stable from with 304,340 (43.4%) to 381,005 (43.2%) in It should be noted that from to , there was an increase in the number of female students and a simultaneous decrease in the proportion of male students during the same period. In the years following, however, the proportions started to return to levels similar to the figures. Page 3

4 Exhibit 3: Lower Division Enrollments by Age Exhibit 3 shows there has also been a significant change in the age demographics among the FCS student population. Exhibit 3 shows FCS lower division enrollment trends by age. The total number of students aged 24 and under increased 47.1% from 327,341 in to 481,631 in This group of students also increased proportionately from 46.7% in to 54.6% in The second largest group of students are 34 and older. The overall number of students from this group decreased 1.8% since , going from 228,968 students to 224,901 and the proportion also decreased 32.7% to 25.5%. This trend represents a steady and significant change within FCS institutions in terms of student age as more young students enter the system. Finally, the number of students aged 25 to 33 increased 21.4% going from 144,158 in to 174,997 in , while the proportion has remained stable at approximately 20.0%. These data further support the idea that the FCS open door admissions policy attracts a variety of students, including many nontraditional students who are older with additional commitments besides school.

5 Exhibit 4: Lower Division Enrollments by Full or Part Time Status* *Students who were not classified as either FT or PT represented approximately 1% to 2% of the population. Exhibit 4 shows the distribution trends of lower division students by enrollment status, either full or parttime. There is a clear difference between the proportion of students who attend full time and those who attend part time. Students who enrolled part time dominate the lower division enrollments going from 79.0% (465,626) in to 69.8% (528,551) in The total number of full time lower division enrollments increased approximately 80% over the period from to , and also grew as a proportion. In , full time students represented 20.5% (120,975) of lower division enrollments while part time students represented 79.0% (465,626) of enrollments. In , full time student enrollments increased to 28.7% (217,608) and part time students increased to 528,551, a difference of 310,943 part time students over full time students. First Time in College (FTIC) Student Enrollment Trends First Time in College (FTIC) students are defined as students who have enrolled in college for the first time during summer and fall terms of a given year. Exhibits 5 through 7 provide a glimpse of demographic trends for FTIC students, who are all lower division students. Page 5

6 Exhibit 5: First Time in College (FTIC) Enrollments by Race and Ethnicity Exhibit 5 shows trends of FTIC students by race and ethnicity. Compared to Exhibit 1 (lower division enrollments by race and ethnicity), more Hispanic and black students are represented as FTICs than as lower division students as a whole. Thus the change in FTIC demographics is changing the overall distribution. For FTIC enrollments, white students still represent the majority. While proportionately, enrollments of FTIC students who are white decreased, the number is still significantly higher than any other race or ethnic group. The total number of white students grew 5.2%, but as a proportion they declined from 57.3% to 42.5%. For the FTIC population, the total number of Hispanic students enrolled increased 80.5%, from 17,223 in to 31,081 in , but increased proportionately from 20.5% to 26.0%. For overall lower division enrollments (as shown in Exhibit 1), the proportion of Hispanic students was 15.8% in and increased to 21.5% in Black student enrollments were proportionately larger among the FTIC population than in the overall lower division group. For FTICs, the number of black students enrolled increased 71.4%, from 15,017 in to 25,733 in , and also increased proportionately from 17.8% to 21.5% for the same time period. For overall lower division enrollments, black students represented 15.8% of students in and that proportion increased to 18.2% in The total number of students from the other category (i.e., Asian/Pacific Islander, Native American) has grown 226% over an 11 year period. As shown, in , 4.4% (3,662) FTIC students reported themselves as a race or ethnicity in the other group. This proportion increased 5.6 percentage points to 10% (11,941 students) in When compared to Exhibit 1, the proportion of Hispanic and black students who come to the FCS as FTICs is greater than their representation in the overall lower division enrollments. Page 6

7 Exhibit 6: FTIC Enrollments by Age Exhibit 6 shows FTIC age trends against trends of the overall lower division population (see Exhibit 3), the most noticeable difference is the trend that students who are 24 and under enrolled as FTICs is proportionately higher than any other age group. In fact, the proportions from other age groups (i.e., 25 to 33 and 34 and older) were considerably lower in the FTIC group than in the overall lower division group. For both groups (i.e., 25 to 33 and 34 and older), their proportions are significantly higher in the overall lower division population than in the FTIC population which is not unexpected considering that these individuals are more likely than younger students (24 and younger) to have at least some college experience at this juncture in their lives. Additionally, the number of younger students 24 and under has increased 58.5%, from 58,137 (69.3%) in to 92,158 (77.3%) in For the overall lower division population, students from the same age category comprised 46.7% of the population in and increased to 54.5% in (see Exhibit 3). FTIC students in the 25 to 33 year old group had many fluctuations over the 11 year period. Overall, this group decreased proportionately by 2.8 percentage points from 14.5% (12,179) in to 11.7% (13,952) in but this still represented an increase of 14.6% in actual numbers of students. For FTIC students who are 34 and older, the number of students decreased 3 percent from 13,574 (16.2%) in to 13,162 (11.0%) in In general, it appears that FTIC students in the FCS are closer in age to traditional age students while non traditional age students are more prolific in the overall lower division population. Furthermore, the number of FTIC enrollments of students 24 and under has increased significantly since , perhaps speaking to the impact of the current economy on student postsecondary institution choice. This means that, over time, the FCS population will likely continue to get younger. Page 7

8 Exhibit 7: FTIC Enrollments by Full or Part Time Status* *Students who were not classified as either FT or PT represented approximately 0.1% to 1.0% of the population. Exhibit 7 shows FTIC trends by enrollment status (full and part time). The trend for FTIC students is starkly different from attendance status of the overall lower division population. The proportion of FTIC students attending full time has increased over the years from 36.1% (27,945) in to 53.3% (61,030) students in In , the proportion and number of FTIC students who attended full time surpassed those who attended part time (50.6% or 51,027 versus 48.9% or 49,261, respectively) this trend continued through to The shift from a majority of part time FTIC enrollments to a majority of full time FTIC enrollments could be a result of students decisions to attend college on a full time basis due to the current state of the economy and the number of younger, more college age students entering the FCS. In general, it appears that the FTIC students tend to be younger (24 and under) and are more likely to attend full time. While white students are still, by and large, the clear majority, Hispanic and black students are enrolling in colleges in the FCS as FTIC students in greater numbers over the years. This shows more traditional college students are enrolling in the FCS, likely because the economy making it difficult to go to a traditional four year university. More students are entering the FCS to improve their education and receive job training to improve their prospects for better jobs and careers. Upper Division Demographic Trends Baccalaureate programs were approved to be offered in the FCS in The enrollment trend data for upper division courses in this report starts from Upper division courses in the FCS have experienced Page 8

9 tremendous growth since , with 19 colleges authorized to offer baccalaureate degrees. With rapid growth of enrollments since , these programs have demonstrated a clear need for local baccalaureate programs within the state. Graduates from these upper division programs will be able to fill essential positions in education, nursing, and industries related to technology, healthcare, and other applied fields. This has the potential to improve the financial health of the state s citizens as well as the state s economy. Exhibit 8: Enrollment Trends in Upper Division Courses Total Number of Students 566 1,194 2,050 2,834 3,902 5,613 8,155 12,408 % Change from Previous Year 111.0% 71.7% 38.2% 37.7% 43.8% 45.3% 52.2% Exhibit 8 shows the number of students enrolled in baccalaureate courses in the FCS from to The table also shows the percent change in enrollment growth from year to year. In , 566 students were enrolled in upper division courses. After that, enrollments increased yearly to 12,408 students in , representing a 52.2% increase from Before additional analyses of demographic data related to percentages of upper division enrollment are discussed, it is important to emphasize that the total annual increase in student population went from 566 students in to 12,408 in , representing a 2,092% increase in enrollments. This kind of increase is such that the number of students in each demographic area has increased dramatically. Exhibit 9: Percentages of Upper Division Enrollment by Age Page 9

10 Exhibit 9 shows upper division enrollment trends by age. Students aged increased from 21.6% (122) in to 30.6% (3,791) in Students 35 years of age and older decreased 6 percentage points since , but still represents the largest age group at 4,498 students (36.3%) in Upper division enrollment of students in the category of 26 to 35 have also experienced growth in numbers from to (from 204 students to 4,116 students). Proportionately, the trend for students in this age group decreased in comparison to other age groups in (36% to 33.2%). The continued expansion of baccalaureate programs offered by FCS institutions and the current state of the economy may be encouraging more students aged years old to stay closer to home to earn their baccalaureate degrees. These data also show that more traditional college students are selecting to attend colleges in the FCS. This would account for at least part of the disproportionate increase that has occurred in the number of students aged years old, who enrolled in upper division courses between and Exhibit 10: Upper Division Enrollments by Race and Ethnicity Exhibit 10 shows upper division enrollment by race and ethnicity. As mentioned previously, there was a 2,092% increase in upper division enrollment from to As a result, the number of students from every race/ethnicity has increased significantly. The information reflected in Exhibit 9 shows the changes that occurred relative to the population as a whole. In general the results are positive, with an increasing percentage of minority students enrolling in upper division courses. The largest increase occurred within the Hispanic population, which grew 13 percentage points from 3.5% (20 students) to 16.6% (2,063 students) in The number of black students enrolled in upper division courses has also increased from Page 10

11 9.9% (56 students) in to 17.7% (2,199 students) in Students from other races/ethnicities have increased one percentage point since with 730 students in representing 5.9% of upper division enrollments. These increases have been so significant that the 1,505% increase of white students is displayed as a 21.8% decrease since , even though with 7,416 students they are the largest subgroup. Exhibit 11: Upper Division Enrollments by Gender Exhibit 11 shows upper division enrollments by gender. The majority of upper division enrollments consist of female students, as with lower division enrollments. With upper division enrollments, however, the margin of females to males is much larger and continues to grow. In , female students represented 63.6% (360) students and male student represented 36.4% (206) of enrollments. In , females represented 70.5% (8,744) of enrollments and males represented 28.7% (3,555) of upper division enrollments. Female enrollments exceeded male enrollments by 5,189 students. With a 2,092% increase in upper division enrollments, there has been significant growth among both genders, but female students still enroll colleges in FCS baccalaureate programs in greater numbers than males. Page 11

12 Exhibit 12: Upper Division Enrollments by Full or Part Time Status* *Students who were not classified as either FT or PT represented approximately 0.4% to 0.7% of the population. Upper division enrollments by full or part time status are shown in Exhibit 12. As with lower division students, the large majority of upper division students are enrolled in the FCS part time. In , 56.5% or 320 students were enrolled part time. The proportion and number of part time students increased in to 64.4% or 7,489 of all upper division enrollments. Full time students, on the other hand, were 43.1% (244) of upper division enrollments in and decreased in proportion to the overall number of upper division students to 34.9% (but enrollments increased in number with 4,049 students). Baccalaureate programs offered in the FCS provide flexibility to all students, but specifically to working adults. Therefore, it is logical that the majority of upper division students are enrolled part time. Page 12

13 Exhibit 13: Comparison of Age Distribution, SUS and FCS (Lower Division and Upper Division), SUS figures provided by State University System of Florida Board of Governors Exhibit 13 provides a graphic representation of age distribution among FCS lower division and upper division groups, as well as those among State University System (SUS) undergraduate students in Students aged 25 and over comprised 46.8% of the FCS undergraduate population, compared to 18.4% of SUS undergraduate population. For students who are defined as traditional aged (24 years and younger), 53.9% of FCS undergraduates fall into this age category compared to 81.4% SUS students of the same age group. This further confirms that the FCS serves a different segment of students from the SUS specifically in this case, those who are older. Summary The following key findings of FCS enrollment data analysis are summarized below. Systemwide enrollment has increase 25.6% from 700,467 in to 887,073 in Minority (black, Hispanic, and other ) lower division enrollment has increased 79.2% from 255,799 in to 458,346 in White student lower division enrollment has increased 25.8% during the same period. Females continue to represent the majority of lower division enrollments at 55.8% in while males represent 43.2%. Page 13

14 Lower division students aged 24 and younger have increased 47.1% since and students aged 34 and older have decreased 1.8% during the same period. Part time students comprised nearly 70% of all lower division enrollments in Full time students, however, have increased 79.9% from 120,975 in to 217,608 in Minority (black, Hispanic, and other) FTIC enrollment increased 91.5% from 35,902 in to 68,755 in while white FTIC enrollment increased 42.1%. The proportion of FTIC students who are 24 years old and younger has increased 58.5% since ; FTIC students who are 34 years old and older has decreased 3.0%. FTIC students who attend college full time has increased 118.4% while the proportion of FTIC students attending part time has decreased 6.9%. Upper division enrollment has increased 2,092% since Students 25 years old and older represented the 74.5% of upper division enrollments in , but the proportion of students 24 years old and younger has increased 3,127% since Minority (black, Hispanic, and other) upper division enrollment has increased 4,700% from 104 in to 4,992 in Female upper division enrollment continues to surpass male enrollment representing 70.5% in and increasing 2,329% since , compared to 1,626% increase in male enrollments during the same period. The majority of upper division students are enrolled part time, comprising 64.4% of upper division enrollments in , compared to 34.9% of those attending full time for the same academic year. Conclusion The current economic state of Florida has impacted the state s public higher education systems, which is in turn changing the demographics of students in The Florida College System. The FCS is now absorbing enrollments of many traditional college students whose resources are becoming more limited in this economy. The FCS provides quality education at low cost to students the practicality of not having to pay added costs of living in another city is eliminated as many students are able to stay home and attend school. Also, baccalaureates offered through the FCS provide a viable baccalaureate option for working adults, attracting more students of different backgrounds. As the FCS continues to respond to regional and statewide workforce demands and more individuals seek affordable higher education options, it is likely that the diversity of the FCS student population will continue to set the FCS apart from the SUS.
